Ryan began to relax as the mental assault faded. He glared at the one who suddenly started speaking the same language as him. "You expect me to believe you're suddenly on our side?" He frowned as he stared at the man. He prepared to fight before suddenly seeing him swing at the object. [i]Powerful objects usually shouldn't just be destroyed...[/i] "What do you think you're doing? Let us seal it, don't just whack it-" The orb shattered, mist flowing into a humanoid shape and turning into a person. [i]Crap, that doesn't seem good...[/i] He got ready to send shadows at the new arrival, but suddenly saw him attack the one who had just been guarding it. The slight confusion gave him hesitation, whether he would have avoided or blocked the attack otherwise is unlikely, but the hesitation ensured that it hit with full force. He grunted slightly as he flew back, hitting the wall. One of the perks to being able to change shape was that he could move his injuries to somewhere else, but his mind wasn't focusing, he sat there for a moment before forcing himself to his feet, not yet able to rejoin the fight.
